Hi guys, apologies if i hijacked this thread. Was just wanting to ask about the wiring for my new oven.

Purchased a built in electrolux EOB2400 rated at 2780w.

Ive been getting mixed opinions on the wiring,
1) to pull an additional cable from the DB. (Messy and least favourite option)
2) to just use a current plug.
3) to jus change the plug to a 15a plug.

Which of the above are not true?(sound like an exam?) 

Heres a photo of the actual plug point im planning to use. It will be connected to a soon to be built kitchen cabinet. It is not shared with any other socket other than a room socket used primarily for a table fan. The DB box unit is Marked In green as in the photo below.



Any the final questions are,

4) how much does an electrician charge for such services?
5) do you guys have any suggestions for electricians in subang or shah alam area?

Thanks in advance!

Hi experts.. Recently I've just purchased a oven Fotile model KQD50F-C2 and a electric hob model EEG75201. My wiring contractor was asking me the power points requirement on oven and hob. I read the specification of these models but it didn't specify the requirement for oven. Only stated for the electric hob is to be connected directly to 25A circuit breaker.

Then I called up the Fotile support service centre hotline for clarification. A very helpful and friendly technician says 15A for the oven and 20A for my electric hob would be sufficient. For the oven no issues but I questioned him that his advice on 20A power requirement for electric hod is contradict with their brochures which stated 25A. Then he says 25A also can.. I asked my wiring contractor, he says 25A is super big power! It makes me more confused

Appreciate if anyone here can advice me should I go for 20A or 25A for the 4.5kW power requirement. Thanks in advance! 

Thanks for the detail explanation, S'aimer!
I have called a few electricians for clarification. Yes, you're right.. The wiring requirement is min 4mm. They say that 4mm would be sufficient for 25A. I'll ensure my contractor to provide 4mm each for my oven and vitro-ceramic hob separately.

Hi, just got my oven. Doing self installation, wiring had done by contractor.
The oven come with wire w/o plug.
My question is, can we connect the wire via the wire connector(those with screw on top and join then screw it) or I need to remove the oven wire and connect direct from wire to the oven connector terminal.

No, wow. They just lay the wire, said it can direct connect with the oven. Because my oven only arrive after 4 months renovated.
He just make a 20A switch control the power.

I had the same problem too about the wiring for oven and hob.. I have checked with Zeen and the technical support in Fotile.. They advised me to connect directly to the wiring from circuit breaker due to the high Amp requirement.

S'aimer, Can you find the socket switches with 25A?? I was told that the largest you can find in the market is only 20A. If you can find, pls do let me know

Yep.. S'aimer, you're right.. Your amp requirements are higher than mine.. But the wiring should be same as mine which is 4mm pulled from the MCB separately (no sharing) to oven and hob each. The 4mm wiring can take up to 27A provided your electrician is using a good quality cable. I've asked my electrician to give me Mega cables for all the 4mm wiring. Btw, you have a very nice vitroceramic hob. Using Teka needs to have budget man
